WEBVTT

00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:13.080
as we know Tech and water don't mix and

00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:17.560
so whenever I'm out on the lake enjoying the Summer sun near the water's edge I

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:19.680
always have this anxiety that I'm just going

00:00:20.439 --> 00:00:26.599
to I dropped

00:00:26.599 --> 00:00:33.760
it and that anxiety doesn't just come from nowhere according to phone insurer

00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:37.200
Asurion water related claims go up 80% in the summer months which is great if

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:43.320
you pay for cell phone insurance but let's be real nobody does I sure as held

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:45.520
don't and so if the worst happens that's

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:51.239
it or is it it's why I want to meet a person who

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:56.079
was able to get her phone back and working you could drop it in a lake you

00:00:53.440 --> 00:00:59.000
never know her name is Fatima gatsi and her phone's Resurrection made waves

00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:05.040
through the tech media quite simply because of how long it's spent

00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:08.320
underwater Oh yeah 6 months and now so

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:11.119
here's the phone it's a white iPhone 11

00:01:08.320 --> 00:01:16.640
and as you can see it's perfectly in shape it looks almost as good as my new

00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:20.119
one but if you look at it like in certain spots like right here you can

00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:24.799
definitely see like some rusting that went on from like being underwater but

00:01:22.479 --> 00:01:30.320
otherwise it still charges perfectly fine and when I got it back initially um

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:34.759
from clay I took it home the microphone wasn't working speaker was super muffed

00:01:33.399 --> 00:01:39.280
this story happened much like you'd expect on a nice day at the end of last

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:45.280
summer with the enticing Prospect of fun on bumper boats very

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:51.079
risky so we're out on the water and then I'm you know enjoying it taking pictures

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:53.799
of the view and then this oncoming boat

00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:59.000
actually started spraying water onto me and then I like totally lost balance

00:01:56.600 --> 00:02:03.640
freaked out and then I dropped my phone in the water

00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:07.640
and it was and I I couldn't even believe it when I dropped it it hit me and I

00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:12.040
just like wanted to cry then but more than that I didn't have any backups or

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:16.560
anything oh so you didn't have an iTunes or an iCloud backup at all no I actually

00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:19.480
didn't no yeah I did I noticed that for a while I was saying that it's not

00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:24.440
backing up but I and I was thinking I have to get to that but I didn't

00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:27.800
obviously ever consider that oh today is the day where I'm going to lose

00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:32.460
everything and I should have backed it up sooner

00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:36.399
so how did she get it back and

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:44.519
working well it was a night in a shining wet suit his name is Clayton helenberg

00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:48.080
and he's an avid free diver it's definitely a hobby of mine just a swim

00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:53.599
but the more I was swimming and the more like sunglasses and phones and stuff I

00:02:49.640 --> 00:02:53.599
was Finding also the more trash we were

00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:59.120
finding oh a vape still got some juice

00:02:57.200 --> 00:03:03.760
in it but with the trash one can also find treasure and Clayton finds all

00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:08.360
sorts of things drones GoPros sunglasses and phones like these two Clayton found

00:03:06.200 --> 00:03:13.000
for us but before we look at them let me introduce you to our sponsor set app set

try set app free for 7 Days by clicking the link below so back to these

00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:42.439
phones one is an iPhone 10 and the other

00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:45.200
an iPhone 7 this in fact was the first

00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:49.239
iPhone to get an official IP67 rating thanks to the solid state home button

00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:53.280
and the courageous removal of the headphone

00:03:50.760 --> 00:03:57.879
jack I think it was a major help in this story the IP code is defined by the

00:03:56.200 --> 00:04:03.720
international electrotechnical commission standard number 60 5 to

00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:11.760
n oh look they turned on okay sorry if

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:16.359
this is getting a little boring but you've probably seen the IP code on cell

00:04:14.079 --> 00:04:19.880
phone spec sheets it has a meaning the first number specifies the level of

00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:24.919
protection from solids and the second specifies protection from water so if a

00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:30.280
device has a rating of ip11 it means that it's protected against an object

00:04:26.440 --> 00:04:34.120
larger than 50 mm or a hand and it's

00:04:30.280 --> 00:04:34.120
protected against falling drops of

00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:38.360
water Yep this is at least

00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.720
ip1

00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:50.360
well um sorry at IP67 it means that

00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:55.199
these are completely dust tight and protected from water Ingress at up to 1

00:04:52.600 --> 00:05:00.880
M depth for 30 minutes apple hasn't even stopped there though any iPhone above

00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:03.840
the 10s is rated at I p68 which allows

00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:11.639
for depths of greater than 1 M so an iPhone 12 is rated up to 6 M 11 Pros are

00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:13.720
rated at 4 M and Fatima's 11 at 2 m

00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:18.639
which incidentally was about the depth her phone was at for all those

00:05:16.520 --> 00:05:22.240
months I guess then what's like the ratio of stuff in pretty decent

00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.800
condition versus oh it's pretty low it's pretty low so for let's say the 200

00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:29.800
pairs of sunglasses I found I probably found 20 that were in usable condition I

00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:34.520
would say give or take and then whatever out for the ratio of like phones or Tech

00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:38.800
you find under water phone GoPros to start with GoPros always work I have not

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:44.520
found an unworking GoPro yet iPhone 11s I found three of them all three of

00:05:40.280 --> 00:05:47.039
worked I have one working iPhone 10 but

00:05:44.520 --> 00:05:51.400
um I think it was S8 or S9 that briefly worked and then it decided to shut off

00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:54.800
again last year sent two big boxes to a guy in uh think he's in Ontario or

00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:57.880
something like that his channel is the phone Guru and he was able to fix a

00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:01.280
whole bunch of them actually plan to send him some more in the future when I get some better ones but got to wait for

00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.560
the summer to people drop some better looking

00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:13.319
phones okay so this iPhone 7 uh appears

00:06:09.080 --> 00:06:15.440
to be fine um but uh it's locked so I

00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:21.080
can't get in obviously uh and then this iPhone 10 well when I first plugged it

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:23.919
in it was boot looping like crazy and I

00:06:21.080 --> 00:06:27.880
put it into restore mode and tried updating it cuz I don't want to delete

00:06:25.280 --> 00:06:32.360
anything that's on here um but I can't really get that to work uh and if I were

00:06:30.400 --> 00:06:37.039
to restore it completely then it means I wouldn't be able to get the person's

00:06:33.919 --> 00:06:40.800
data back to them so let's see if we can

00:06:37.039 --> 00:06:43.520
reach out to them uh where do I start

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:47.199
yeah so what I do with phones um hers it just turned right on which was kind of

00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:50.080
cool but iPhone has a quite a good lock system so I'm not cracking that code

00:06:48.400 --> 00:06:52.880
anytime soon so what I do with all phones is I just take the SIM card out

00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:57.440
and I plug it into an old phone and I have a SIM card reader and that and it just shows me the phone number that the

00:06:55.680 --> 00:07:00.560
phone's registered to and I just just call the phone or text the phone and if

00:06:58.960 --> 00:07:04.759
somebody answer is awesome and she answered right away and that was cool

00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:10.120
that's how that works okay so I got this Android phone to do this uh so let's um

00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:13.800
switch the SIM cards here

00:07:12.280 --> 00:07:21.720
okay and take this one out huh uh it's an

00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:23.479
AT&T SIM card I wonder what that means

00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:29.520
put this in here okay it looks like we got

00:07:26.479 --> 00:07:31.440
service there's no number on here it's

00:07:29.520 --> 00:07:39.639
it's blank does that mean it's an old SIM card okay so it's an American phone

00:07:35.400 --> 00:07:41.039
maybe uh it's not connected to um an

00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:48.459
American Network and we live close to the Border let's see if that

00:07:52.039 --> 00:07:56.280
works blank darn it I was hoping to get

00:07:55.080 --> 00:08:04.960
that phone back okay um that didn't work

00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:04.960
so uh let's try the next SIM

00:08:11.440 --> 00:08:17.479
card okay it's got service if I try

00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.479
phoning this

00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:25.220
number it's ringing oh my goodness

00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:30.039
okay oh my gosh I got some text messages

00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.840
P the number off the the guy who sent message to this

00:08:43.560 --> 00:08:50.279
phone this is a lot harder than I was expecting I mean how did Clayton do it

00:08:47.560 --> 00:08:50.279
with Fatima's

00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:55.279
phone you got your new phone in December

00:08:53.760 --> 00:09:01.240
and then a couple months later what happened it was a normal day I was just

00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:03.600
chilling and then I got a text saying hi

00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:07.560
my name is Clay um did you lose a cell phone in Harrison Lake so it was just

00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:11.480
really really odd that someone was asking me about this thing that happened

00:09:09.160 --> 00:09:16.399
6 months ago and knew exactly where I lost it I almost genuinely felt like

00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:20.240
someone's trying to I don't know lure me into

00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:26.519
somewhere but all it was was Clayton trying to return a phone back to their

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:31.440
rightful owner hopefully with all its photos and memories intact I don't know

00:09:29.560 --> 00:09:34.800
like how to feel about receiving something that I was definitely

00:09:33.079 --> 00:09:41.600
heartbroken to lose and it was such a stressful time I just felt like a lot of

00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:42.959
memories or um pieces of a big time in

00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:47.240
my life were just kind of given back to me so I was just mostly grateful for

00:09:44.880 --> 00:09:50.760
that and then I was also thinking like now what do I do with the second phone

00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:53.800
so what does it feel like when you return a phone to someone it's awesome

00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:58.760
uh some of the reactions are just people are in total disbelief sometimes and

00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:02.600
yeah it's pretty cool too bad I won't be getting the same reactions myself I

00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:08.519
don't have a lot of Apple stuff at all like I used to have an iPod and I was about it but um yeah those iPhone 11s

00:10:06.680 --> 00:10:13.279
like apple makes a crazy waterproof phone it's very impressive honestly like

00:10:10.760 --> 00:10:17.200
6 months around 10 ft of water it's just crazy two other ones at C us they were

00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:21.079
both charged when I found them the guys had lost them the day before but uh yeah

00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:24.200
I jumped in and I just clicked the button and it turned on underwater and

00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:26.839
there was a background of a dog on it and it was just super

00:10:27.160 --> 00:10:31.800
funny so I guess after this whole Oreal

00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:36.959
what's the big lesson you've learned back up your phone always get hooked on

00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:41.480
it I don't know I assumed cuz the last backup I did was like on iTunes and that

00:10:39.880 --> 00:10:45.519
was really lengthy but I didn't know that now you could just still just do it

00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:49.800
on the phone just go on iCloud and then just subscribe to it and then it backs

00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:54.920
up for you so definitely very easy very affordable process um and if you're ever

00:10:52.920 --> 00:11:00.519
out where you might drop your phone put it in a zip pocket just don't take it on

00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.519
the water

00:11:00.920 --> 00:11:07.880
it's reassuring to know that if your iPhone dunks into a shallow Beach or

00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:10.920
pool it has a chance of surviving but that doesn't mean you should be careless

00:11:09.560 --> 00:11:15.800
because despite there being people like Clayton around 6 months is still an

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:20.240
awful long time to be without a phone thank you for joining us at this

00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:25.000
Mac Address from the shores of cultist Lake British Columbia now I'm curious if

00:11:22.680 --> 00:11:29.079
you yourself have had any Tales of an iPhone surviving or maybe not surviving

00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:32.920
a dunk underwater feel free to share them in the comments below
